Deliochus zelivira

In a retreat of eucalypt leaves, including green ones, which is also used as a brood chamber for egg-laying; a tube-like entrance of silk is often present

Toxicity:

Unknown; the fangs of the female may be large enough to be able to envenomate a human but this species shows no obvious aggression towards humans (it probably should still be handled with caution) and the male is too small to present a significant hazard

This spider is a relative of the common leaf-curling spider, Phonognatha graeffei, but is less common. The male is much smaller than the female and has reddish stripes along the upper surfaces of the abdomen which are not present on the female. It is sometimes found within the female's retreat.
